The film – which tells the story of a teenage hockey phenom who goes from obscurity to overnight fame – also stars a slew of Canadian talent. Among those are singer/songwriter Marc Jordan (whose composing credits include Rod Stewart’s “Rhythm of My Heart” and Cher’s “Taxi Taxi”), newcomers Noah Reid and Allie MacDonald, along with cameos by music artists Nelly Furtado, Dave Bidini, Hawksley Workman and John McDermott, journalists George Stroumboulopoulos and Evan Solomon, sports anchor Steve Kouleas, hockey dad Walter Gretzky and hockey star Theo Fleury. Unlike other musicals, the story doesn’t stop just for the sake of a song. Instead, the lyrics (written by McGowan) drive the plot. There are 20 original songs, among them one called “Darryl vs. the Kid” by Barenaked Ladies, as well as “Hugs” by Olivia Newton-John, Amy Sky and Marc Jordan, and five songs on which Hawksley Workman contributed.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release November 18, 2020 Tagish, Yukon, Canada As part of Canadian Innovation Week, OpenBroadcaster Inc is releasing Pyrate 3.0 free and open-source software (FOSS). An open source emergency response radio and TV broadcast toolkit for stations to remotely access their studios and distribute CAP emergency alert messages during COVID19. About Raspberry Pi Pyrate Broadcast Originally designed as a class project to teach computer coding skills, the Raspberry Pi is now mass produced, with over thirty million units sold, gaining a global network of commercial and educational users, based on their proven reliability and low cost. Pyrate 3.0 is open source broadcast automation software configured to run on the inexpensive Raspberry Pi computer for stations operating remotely under lock down guidelines, assisting them in unattended operation, studio access and distribution of emergency messages in regional indigenous dialects. Emergency Disaster Assistance - Resilience Through Innovation 1 - 2 Solution To Remote Studio Access Many domestic and international small-to-medium broadcasters are not able to physically access their central studios, further to COVID19 travel restrictions. Indigenous groups in remote regions with expensive bandwidth are challenged by lack of affordable solutions otherwise out of reach. This open source technology, used in emergency services, increases the reach and utility of relaying important alerts based on the global standard CAP (Common Alerting Protocol). Pyrate 3.0 contains powerful broadcast automation software, saving time for stations to configure and harness innovation in emergency management technology tools to help with the current situation that we are all in today. About OpenBroadcaster OpenBroadcaster's mission is to develop open source products and services for broadcasters of any size, working in analog or digital environments.

  • Kitikmeot Radio Network (KRN)
    For Immediate Release 2 YUKON COMPANIES, OPENBROADCASTER INC. AND COMPUTERISMS CORPORATION, ASSIST IN DEPLOYMENT OF RADIO NETWORK IN NUNAVUT OpenBroadcaster Inc and Computerisms Corporation are pleased to have played a part in a project spearheaded by SSI Micro and the Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KIA) to introduce its latest public service, the Kitikmeot Radio Network (KRN). The pilot project was launched July 9th and was timed to coincide with KIA's 40th Anniversary. Nodes of the KRN were deployed in Cambridge Bay, Kugluktuk, and Ottawa, and were used to broadcast a live FM broadcast and Internet stream of Nunavut Day Music Festival held in Cambridge Bay. The success of the project paves the way to expand the project to all Nunavut communities. Computerisms deployed software produced by OpenBroadcaster Inc on Linux servers for each of the three pilot project's KRN nodes. Each server is configured so that each community can interact with its own server without using expensive and limited Satellite Internet resources. The geographically diverse servers then synchronize themselves using the Satellite Internet connection in the most efficient way possible. A node in Ottawa with less expensive and more abundant Internet resources is used for streaming to other parts of Canada and the world. “This is a classic example of how the extreme reliability and cost-efficiency of Linux is an excellent fit for Northern data networks,” says Bob Miller of Computerisms, a long-time promoter of Linux and Open Source Software. “It is perfectly suited to running in environments with scarce hardware and network resources, and requires a minimum of maintenance so is ideal for hard-to-get-to geographic locations.

INTRODUCTION 1. REC Networks (REC) is a leading advocate for a citizen’s access to spectrum with a heavy focus on Low Power FM (LPFM) broadcast stations as well as full-service noncommercial educational (NCE) broadcast stations and small “mom and pop” commercial stations. As a national regulatory advocate for LPFM, we have a deep involvement in the Emergency Alert System (EAS) including involvement in past stakeholder meetings and the promotion of EAS compliance by LPFM stations. In these Comments, we address the various issues raised in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.1 II. ISSUES RAISED IN THE NOTICE A. Wireless Emergency Alert System Offerings 2. At the time leading up to the previous National Periodic Test (NPT) in respect to the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system, there was a significant amount of controversy over the designation of “Presidential Alert” for messages that are originated by the Executive Branch. This controversy was stemmed around our nation’s societal political divide, including our distrust of our Nation’s leaders, regardless of which party is in control.2 Because of this “Presidential Alert” controversy, the reputation of EAS and WEA was substantially tarnished to the point of where questions were raised 1 See FCC 21-36, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (2021) (“NPRM” or “Notice”). 2 See: The Long, Strange History of the Presidential Text Alert, Wired (Oct.

  • Kirty Releases Poignant New Single “God Help Us” Listen / Watch
    Media Release Kirty Releases Poignant New Single “God Help Us” Listen / Watch Listen to the Canadian radio premiere via The Strombo Show on CBC Music HERE Download single artwork HERE “With its gently swirling pop, dreamy sonics and nostalgic vibe, Kirty’s self-titled sophomore disc makes a fine soundtrack for everything from a walk in the park to an evening under the stars — and fits right in on a playlist with the likes of Jenny Lewis, Lana Del Rey and Neko Case.” - National Post “Breezy and bittersweet, Kirty’s effervescent ditties dwell in an easy-on-the-ears sweet spot between folk and straight-up pop... equally easy on the ears is Kirty’s winsome voice, an endearingly imprecise instrument that’s tailor-made for windows-down singalongs but also sounds appropriately worn on the sad-girl downtempo numbers.” – Toronto Star (March 8, 2021) – Toronto-based songwriter/multi-instrumentalist and long-time Fast Romantics member Kirty releases the poignant, grungy, distortion-rich single, “God Help Us” and unveils its fiery and poetic accompanying video. Co-produced with long-time collaborator Josh Van Tassel and Fast Romantics bandmate/songwriting partner Matthew Angus, “God Help Us” had its Canadian radio premiere yesterday evening via The Strombo Show on CBC Radio. The melancholic track will appear on Kirty’s forthcoming solo album set for a release in summer 2021. Click HERE to listen and purchase. With devastatingly heart-breaking lyrics like, “Broken minds screaming lies out of their hideout, dressed in fear they reappear and we’re all crying our eyes out, “God Help Us” was inspired by a number of tragic incidents the songwriter observed on the news one evening.
